I enabled some more kernel options under USB Network Adapters and it's
working now. The install is about done but there were a few
peculiarities:
1. fdisk won't let me specify a start block before 2048 even though I
deleted all partitions.
2. grub-install reported something like:
fd0
hd0
hd1
where hd1 was the USB key. Should I fix this to remove the USB key from grub?
3. Portage complains about duplicate repositories. I think it has to
do with the fact that I ran emerge --sync without downloading and
extracting an initial snapshot.
Please let me know if you have any idea on these.
